This new category could apply to some offline things, but it’s probably not going to be anything about family or social life or twitter-style-what-I-had-for-lunch-today.
The new category is basically an admission that this blog has gone from it’s original intent to give specific concise useful category-specific computer info / tips / tricks (“useful tech notes (info, tips, how to, ask me) (computers, software, hardware, blogging, mobile, devices, phones, Windows)”)… To becoming more like, just me writing about whatever I feel like; though generally this is a strong computer/technology focus (or at least from that sort of angle).
I may still start up a separate / second blog that is dedicated to game development, such as for a specific project.
In theory, I might be crazy enough to put up personal stuff, or even mundane things like “today I drank a Mt Dew”. Many other people do it, but that has issues like, do friends or family or roommates or coworkers or neighbors etc want you putting stuff up on the totally public internet about them.
In some cases, you might even risk giving someone info to encourage them to pick you (or someone you reference) as a criminal target, such as identity theft or stalker or theft etc. Though I don’t want to sound too paranoid.
In theory, I might also put one up about day job, but that has other issues like, what if I said something as a rant, or what if coworkers didn’t like it, or what if it was against some company policy or accidentally gave out too much info, etc.
Whether either of these could be (a bad idea) or (a good idea) or (harmless yet also pointless), probably depends on the details of a particular situation.
